This study reports a structure, based on a liquid-crystal (LC) core optical waveguide, for the switchable spatial control of linearly polarized light. The refractive indices of both left and right isotropic claddings in the waveguide are between the two principal-axis indices of the nematic liquid crystal (NLC). Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed structure can be operated in transmission mode or as an attenuator by controlling the on and off states of the applied voltage, whether the initial excitation is transverse electric (TE) linearly polarized light or transverse magnetic (TM) linearly polarized light. The design can also be used as an integrated optical polarizer, since only one type of linearly polarized light is always permitted to pass through the core zone of the NLC optical waveguide.

연구목적: 철근콘크리트 슬래브에 발생하는 소음 및 진동을 저감하기 위하여 중공부를 설치하거나 중공부에 액체를 채워 설치한 후 감쇠성능을 실험적으로 수행하고자 한다. 연구방법: 중공율을 실험 변수로 하여, 충격하중을 가했을 때 각 시험체의 감쇠율과 강성을 구하여 수치해석에 대한 감쇠율과 강성의 차이를 알아낸다. 또한, 중공부의 50%를 액체로 채운 시험체의 감쇠율과 강성의 차이를 비교하여 감쇠효과를 검토한다. 연구결과: 중공부가 있는 실험체와 없는 실험체의 내력의 차이는 5% 정도로 오차범위에 있으므로 구조적인 문제는 없는 것으로 판단되며, 중공부에 액체를 주입할 경우 감쇠율이 증가함으로 소음이나 진동도 저감할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 결론: 중공율이 20%이하에서는 감쇠효과가 거의 없고, 30%일 때 감쇠효과가 나타났다. 그러나, 실험체의 중공부에 액체를 주입하였을 경우는 감쇠율이 증가하는 것으로 나타남으로, 중공부에 액체를 주입하면 소음이나 진동의 감쇠효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 중앙 물분사 방식을 채택한 액체로켓엔진 후류의 냉각에 대해 전산유체역학을 통한 특성을 고찰하였다. 중앙 물분사 방식의 냉각은 측면 물분사 방식과는 달리, 잘 알려져 있지 않기 때문에 다양한 물분사량과 유량을 통해 효율적으로 후류를 냉각시킬 수 있는 조건을 찾았으며, 해석을 통해 후류의 변화 특성을 살펴보았다. 이로부터 물분사 유량이 총추진제 유량의 2배 이상, 위치는 L/De=1.2일 때가 적당함을 알 수 있었다.

In a severe reactor accident, a crust will form on the surface of the molten material during the core melting process. The crust will have a contact melting with the internal components of the reactor. In this paper, the contact melting process of the molten material on the austenitic stainless steel plate bundles is studied. The contact melting model of parabolic molten material on the plate bundles is proposed, and the rule and main effect factors of the contact melting are analyzed. The results show that the melting velocity is proportional to the slope of the paraboloid, the heat flux and the distance between two plates D. The influence of melt gravity and the plate width on melting velocity is negligible. The thickness of the molten liquid film is proportional to the heat flux and plate width, and it is inversely proportional to the gravity. With the increase of D, the liquid film thickness decreases at first and then increases gradually. The liquid film thickness has a minimum against D. When the width of the plate is small, the width of the plate is the main factor affecting the thickness of the liquid film. The parameters are coupled with each other. In a severe reactor accident, the wider internal components of reactor, which can increase the thickness of the melting liquid film and reduce the net input heat flux from the molten material to the components, are the effective measures to delay the melting process.

New banana-shaped achiral compounds, 1,3-phenylene bis [4-{4-(alkenyloxy) phenyliminomethyl}benzoate]s were synthesized by varying the length of alkenyl group; their ferroelectric properties are described. The smectic mesophases, including a switchable chiral smectic C $(Sm\;C^*)$ phase, were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and triangular wave method. The presence of vinyl groups at the terminals of linear side wings in the banana-shaped achiral molecules containing Schiff's base mesogen induced a decrease in melting temperature and formation of the switchable $(Sm\;C^*)$ phase in the melt. The smectic phases having the octenyloxy group such as $(CH_2)_6CH=CH_2$ showed ferroelctric switching, and their values of spontaneous polarization on reversal of an applied electric field were 120 nC/cm² (X=H) and 225 nC/ cm² (X=F), respectively. We could obtain ferroelectric phases by controlling the number of carbon atom in alkenyloxy chain of a bent-core molecule.

Lead-alloys are very attractive nuclear coolants due to their thermo-hydraulic, chemical, and neutronic properties. By utilizing the HELIOS (Heavy Eutectic liquid metal Loop for Integral test of Operability and Safety of PEACER$^2$) facility, a thermal hydraulic benchmarking study has been conducted for the prediction of pressure loss in lead-alloy cooled advanced nuclear energy systems (LACANES). The loop has several complex components that cannot be readily characterized with available pressure loss correlations. Among these components is the core, composed of a vessel, a barrel, heaters separated by complex spacers, and the plenum. Due to the complex shape of the core, its pressure loss is comparable to that of the rest of the loop. Detailed CFD simulations employing different CFD codes are used to determine the pressure loss, and it is found that the spacers contribute to nearly 90 percent of the total pressure loss. In the system codes, spacers are usually accounted for; however, due to the lack of correlations for the exact spacer geometry, the accuracy of models relies strongly on assumptions used for modeling spacers. CFD can be used to determine an appropriate correlation. However, application of CFD also requires careful choice of turbulence models and numerical meshes, which are selected based on extensive experience with liquid metal flow simulations for the KALLA lab. In this paper consistent results of CFX and Star-CD are obtained and compared to measured data. Measured data of the pressure loss of the core are obtained with a differential pressure transducer located between the core inlet and outlet at a flow rate of 13.57kg/s.

페놀과 피리딘 간의 단일 수소결합을 이용하여 새로운 형태의 자기 집합된 원반형 액정을 제조하고 그 액정 특성을 조사하였다. 원반형 구조 설계를 위해 phloroglucinol을 중심부 분자로, 체계적으로 알킬사슬 길이를 변화시킨 trans-4-alkoxy-4'-stilbazole을 주변 물질로 사용하였다. 적외선 분광 분석을 통해 중심부 분자와 주변 물질 사이의 분자간 수소결합이 성공적으로 형성됨을 확인하였고, 또한 수소결합의 안정성이 분자 정렬에 의해 크게 영향을 받음을 확인하였다. 자기 집합된 원반형 액정 복합체는 원반형 메소겐 주위의 알킬 사슬 길이에 따라 다른 액정상들을 나타내었다. 긴 알킬사슬을 함유하는 액정 복합체의 경우 육방형 컬럼상이 나타났으며, 상대적으로 짧은 사슬을 갖는 다른 액정 복합체에서는 네마틱 컬럼상이 형성되었다. 이는 자기 집합된 원반형 액정 복합체의 액정상 구조가 원반형 핵 단위 주변의 알킬사슬 길이에 의해 크게 영향을 받음을 의미하였다.

A sensitive method for quantitation of glimepiride in human plasma has been established using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS/MS). Glipizide was used as an internal standard. Glimepiride and internal standard in plasma sample was extracted using diethyl etherethyl acetate (1 : 1). A centrifuged upper layer was then evaporated and reconstituted with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-5 mM ammonium acetate (60:40, pH 3.0). The reconstituted samples were injected into a $C_{18}$ reversed-phase column. Using MS/MS in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, glimepiride and glipizide were detected without severe interference from human plasma matrix. Glimepiride produced a protonated precursor ion ([M+H]$^+$) at m/z 491 and a corresponding product ion at m/z 352. And the internal standard produced a protonated precursor ion ([M+H]]$^+$) at m/z 446 and a corresponding product ion at m/z 321. Detection of glimepiride in human plasma by the LC-ESI/MS/MS method was accurate and precise with a quantitation limit of 0.1 ng/mL. The validation, reproducibility, stability, and recovery of the method were evaluated. The method has been successfully applied to pharmacokinetic studies of glimepiride in human plasma.

In this study, the seismic fragility analysis of a base isolated condensate storage tank installed in the nuclear power plant. The condensate storage tank is safety related structure in a nuclear power plant. The failure of this tank affect significantly to the core damage frequency of the nuclear power plants. The seismic analysis of the liquid storage tank was performed by the simple calculation method and the dynamic time storage analysis method. The convective and impulsive fluid mass is modeled as added masses proposed by several researchers. To evaluate the effectiveness of the isolation system, the comparison of HCLPF and core damage frequencies in non-isolated and isolated cases are carried out. It can be found from the results that the seismic isolation system increases the seismic capacity of a condensate storage tank and decreases the core damage frequency significantly.
